I used to live in LA and I back up your friend saying paparazzi aren’t waiting for people, even in Malibu. I’ve literally never seen paparazzi but I’ve seen famous people. Like, REALLY famous people- who have been famous for decades and even in one instance was in the middle of a HUGE legal scandal. No paparazzi (and the legal scandal one was in 2019 so still very recent therefore regarding the same climate as how this stuff works now).

I don’t want to dislike Kaia (it doesn’t really feel good to dislike people, or at least it isn’t productive) but the more I realized the UK Daily Mail has been covering her or at least her family from birth, the more I realized she really isn’t anything special and just had PR this whole time. So many people still don’t know who or what a Kaia Gerber even is because not everyone loves fashion, we don’t live in a monoculture anymore where everyone is consuming the same content, and she’s hasn’t even done a lot in Hollywood besides being an obvious nepo baby by being so bad at acting and yet…she gets “caught” by the paps getting her damn green drinks and going to the gym? Make it make sense. That’s totally orchestrated. I can’t trust anything out of Kaia Gerber’s mouth once I put that all together. I know a lot of stars do this, but most actually have talent and we all know that she lol…doesn’t exactly have talent!

It’s all also a play from the Kris Jenner bible ( her and Cindy are friends…) by creating publicity and forcing relevance. Nothing is real or organic ( not even her social media…8 or 9 million last time I checked and yet most ppl I know in real life have never heard of her… #ThingsThatMakeYouGoHmmmm). Side note: has anyone ever investigated her social media stats on social blade (blaze?) or does nobody care enough about her to look into it?

When people wonder why Austin and Kaia are hiding…it’s because they can easily hide. Maybe Deux Moi spotting or fans on cell phones sometimes, but again, we’re not in a monoculture so not everyone knows who they are enough to care if they saw them (and I say this as an Austin fan who’s glad he’s getting his flowers; however he only recently made it in a major mainstream way and not everyone saw Elvis/are now learning more about him via MOTA and Dune. All due respect to him but he’s still being cemented into culture in real time and isn’t say, Matt Damon yet…but hey probably one day!). Also regarding both LA and New York, as your friend said, celebrities are around so we largely don’t care and do not take pics when we see them. It’s soooo easy to hide as a celebrity. It’s ridiculous when people act like the paps invade a celebrity’s privacy or that Austin (or anyone else for that matter) must be “hiding” and can’t be living a normal life. HA.

Final thought: even though I said Austin is just getting warmed up, let’s be real and admit he’s more respected than Kaia and likely more liked/known regarding household name recognition. And yet KAIA is papped more than her bf who was nominated for an Oscar?!? And people think that’s just an organic occurrence? 😂😂😂😂😂😂 People need to do some critical thinking and realize what’s happening here!

holy shit i love coming back home from dinner and seeing this beauty in my inbox

you said everything so flawlessly that we have been thinking and saying for a long time, and it's great that you put it in these terms. nothing is ever real or organic about kaia, and kaia with austin together. there are a lot of people her age with talent that i can respect, but she has zero talent and only gets what she does through her parents and by dating austin. it's simple as that. her dating austin was just another PR maneuver to keep her relevant.

Because Dominicans are Black too. Let’s talk about this colorism, shall we? Repost from @robertobelike • #Repost @hearst_latinx with @make_repost ・・・ The release of #InTheHeights has sparked a conversation about colorism and anti-Blackness within the Latinx community. While the movie is a vibrant and joyful portrait of the diaspora, it is not entirely accurate. Creators did not cast darker-skinned Afro-Latinx actors in leading roles, but more as dancing extras. This is a problem Hollywood has long struggled with, but critics have said it’s an especially painful oversight for a movie that’s supposed to be about a historically Black Latinx neighborhood. @fantasticfrankey is one of the Afro-Latinx creators who has been talking about some of the movie’s missed opportunities to address colorism and gatekeeping in the Latinx community. We’re sharing some of it here with her permission 🙏🏼 #intheheights #washingtonheights #linmanuelmiranda #colorism #antiblackracism #afrolatinx #blacklatinx - # #thinkaboutit #thingsthatmakeyougohmmmm #howdidwegethere #sages #theybeentoldus #blacklove #reframeblackexistence #reclaiminblackexistence #reclaimblacknarratives #historytellsthetale #historicalfacts #thejuneteenthproject https://www.instagram.com/p/CQOwf4djc2G/?utm_medium=tumblr

Apparel that doesn't Accommodate

Why can't underwear come in half sizes?! Think about it, wouldn't this be life changing? From postpartum moms, to weight loss or gain, our body's are ever changing. Footwear comes in half sizes, hell even wide width. Pants can be like size 10/12 so fits the in-between, but underwear - nope must be a digit only.

It's funny, but The Final Revival of Opal & Nev actually inspired me to check this book out. One of the characters reminded me of ALT so much that I figured I'd check out the audiobook. 🧵🪡 Now I'll admit my knowledge of ALT was mostly from his seasons on America's Next Top Model so I knew he was influential in the fashion industry, but I found out so much more about him as a person. He was also top of mind, having recently passed in January this year. I absolutely adore memoirs read by the author, and The Chiffon Trenches was well done. 🧵🪡 All memoirs you take with a grain of salt, and I think ALT was especially conscious of trying to include enough salacious details of fashion giant influencers like Karl Lagerfeld and Anna Wintour without completely burning bridges. With my limited knowledge of ALT, I found it fascinating to learn he studied French, had his masters from Brown, and was studying for his PHD before turning to the fashion industry. However, there was also a feeling that he was holding things back about himself, trying to make it seem like he was being open but also never really revealing himself completely. I also found it interesting that he never even alluded to his stint on ANTM or mentioned Tyra Banks. But Naomi Campbell was mentioned NUMEROUS times... #thingsthatmakeyougohmmmm That being said, I truly did enjoy listening to ALT and his journey in the Chiffon Trenches. 3.75/5 🧵🪡 #AndreLeonTalley #TheChiffonTrenches #Audiobook #libbyapp #memior #blackmaleauthor #fashion #ANTM #DiverseBookstagrammersRead #nerdymamabooks #booknerd #nonfiction #bookstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CbtLHxwrL6U/?utm_medium=tumblr

Just saw literally 100s of birds flying along the Grand Lake coastline in Bernice. The photo doesn’t do it justice. Not sure what’s coming but the birds seem to know something we don’t. #covid19 #lifeofaneditor #thingsthatmakeyougohmmmm https://www.instagram.com/p/B-XxmmOh5JZ/?igshid=dxqnn7z2pfg3

We lost a real one this week. Let’s always remember to put respect on his name. His gifts to us were many, this is a beautiful summation of his being tho. Always sharing his light and jewels with anyone who he crossed paths with. Poet. Actor. Activist. Amazing human being #BlackExcellence @bkbmg is gone, but never forgotten, because he never forgot us. We thank you.
